Curious if you are building your own garage would being attached be a requirement or is it different for doing things yourself. Would you just put anchors in the roof to tie to?

It's likely completely different because you're not in a work (occupational) scenario, so OH&S can't infringe upon your rights to be as stupid as you want on your own property.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
The only fall arrest I've seen in residential are those roof anchors, I think. It's fairly common in large new developments where a dominant builder is around like Sterling, etc.

When I was doing it there was no good way. On top of that you only had a 30° ROM then you exceeded the side load ratings. Plus the risk of the swing was high. The airhoses were bad enough risks back then, accidentally step on one and you probably were going off the roof.

However - the falling off a roof was uncommon. The rate of back injury was pretty extreme... And that's likely where the wcb rate comes from (same with framers and drywallers). It's all hunched over heavy lifting work with poor body positioning...

I see a lot of new home builds where the anchors are left on the roof, Wonder if this is a new thing?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Would be useful for any roofing contractors to utilize in the future I guess if they trust they are still anchored in securely.

So lets say you are having your roof done and the crew doing the work is not tethered. Who do you talk to if the super isn't on sight? Or your neighbours house?
From the sounds of some here you should shut up and mind your own business. Isn't safety everyone's responsibility?

Old friend of mine was roofing, no fall arrest. He fell from 26 feet to the ground and broke his back in 3 places. Took him over a year to recover. Told him to get a better job!
I had to take fall arrest and CTS09 when I went to the Jacos Site. It was about 2 hours or less on PC and I knew what the deal was
Machining, Fabricating, Welding etc.

Mine is a 2008 build, still has the tie off straps on the roof and most of the places around me have them still.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
My own house, stop work until I talked to the company or the super. Neighbor’s house, probably tell the neighbor they might want to address it. I just dealt with it up front by hiring a company that said they’d be tied off on the roof.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
